Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling, optional)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (plus more for sprinkling)
- 3 cups quick-cooking oats

Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add both sugars, caramel sauce, and milk. Stir and bring to a gentle boil for 1–2 minutes.
